I used to be a quiet girl. I was afraid to speak in public. I was always silent in class. But one day, something changed my life.
It was an English speech competition. My teacher asked me to take part in it. At first, I refused. But my teacher encouraged me and said, "You can do it. I believe in you." With her encouragement, I decided to have a try.
I prepared for the competition very carefully. I practiced speaking in front of the mirror every day. Finally, the day of the competition came. I was very nervous when I stood on the stage. But when I saw my teacher's encouraging eyes, I became calm. I spoke loudly and clearly. To my surprise, I won the first prize.
From then on, I became more confident. I'm not afraid to speak in public anymore.
